Firestone FS561 225/70R19.5 - 14

[Dominiqueb]

Getting 4 new tires on the rear and I don't know the weight off my MH, any suggestions?

Fleetwood Flair 30H P30 2001

No cargo. I don't have a local scale.

Thanks

Posted somewhere in your motorhome should be a tag that defines the load information. You didn't state the year of your motorhome nor any other information about it. I looked at your profile and see that you have a Fleetwood Flair 30H.

Without the year of your motorhome it is impossible to be certain but it appears that your motorhome has a 11000 lb rated rear axle. If that is true then 225/70R19.5 Load range F tires are more than adequate.

See this Tire Thread to see how I decided on the tires I would buy. I chose the Firestone FS561 and I am very happy with them so far.

If you added a signature to your profile the signature would show on your posts and make it easier for us to help you. You can include your motorhome year, brand and model, the chassis (Ford, Chevy, Workhorse, etc) and any other information that is relevant.

Without any specific reason otherwise, you should buy the same size & type tire it was originally equipped with. That size and load range will be shown on the tire placard by the driver seat (usually on the wall) and should be entirely adequate for the coach, even at max load. That placard will also show the recommended tire psi, front & rear, that will support the max load. Use that unless you get a scaled weight to justify something less.

The original post shows a 2001 Fleetwood Flair 30H and a P30 (aka Workhorse) chassis, so the max axle ratings are 11,000 rear and 6000 front. The FS561 225/70R19.5 in LR F (14 ply rating) is easily sufficient for those axles at those weights.


Here's the 2001 Flair brochure that is the source of the axle information I used. https://library.rvusa.com/brochure/2001_fl_b.pdf

I can't speak to your specific needs based on your weight, tire size, etc. But, I have a set of FS561 tires on my coach and like them very much. All six were balanced when installed, and I would say that I like them better than the Goodyear I had a few years ago on my last coach.

Any consideration about tire pressure it will be great!

Hi,

Set your tire pressure according to the chart you posted. It looks like the chart says 80 PSI in the front tires and 90 PSI in the rear tires. That should be good.

Your signature is still not showing up! You might try going through the steps again as I outlined in my first post.

Welcome to the forum. Happy camping and great travels.

I tried to find quickie links but unfortunately I cannot, I managed to found a place to select my signature and my avatar.
I'm going to keep searching away to learn how to use this forum properly, thanks for your time and advise, any suggestion it will be truly welcome, for example it is a problem to place my full name?

It is possible to try to find someone local could help me to better understand my RV and especially how to maintain.

My knowledge about RVs is very poor, this is basically this is my first MH, but to be honest with you I don't even know what is the fuse box is located, n help it will be strongly appreciated.

It looks like whatever you did worked! I see a signature. You might want to edit your signature and add "P30". That is valuable information.
